[Bug python/11407] -stack-list-locals should catch python exceptions and return the error per variable


------- Additional Comments From jens dot elmenthaler at verigy dot com  2010-03-25 09:15 -------
This issue is really annoying (please read "pretty printers rule, just this 
small bug creates a problem redering them kind ob useless").

The typical C++ developer (including me) declares a variable when it is 
needed, not at the top of the function or method. So, with my Eclipse CDT 
patched to enable the pretty printers for the MI variable objects, and having 
code that often has local variables of types being associated with pretty 
printers, the variables view often remains empty until the end of the method.

I have the impression that fixing this issue isn't possibly too complicated. 
Would it be possible to provide such a patch? This would help to continue with 
the work on Eclipse, and I could use the result for myself or anybody else who 
can use a patched gdb, at least.

For Eclipse CDT, I tend to rate this bug as a blocking issue to really commit 
the support for the pretty printers (besides the value that is provided by -
data-evaulate-expression), as there is no offical gdb version that would have 
fixed that bug, and without the fix, the IDE is not behaving usefully.

This is to say, has this bug really "normal" severity?
